Linlithgow Sprint

Results

The hills were certainly a consideration today in selecting the best route. On the long those were legs 9,10 and 17 with the short course legs 9 and 14. Did you try and avoid them completely? Or maybe select an easier gradient? Or did you just chose the shortest route and get on with it?
